Sporting Lagos are looking good in the Nigeria National League, NNL, after a brilliant outing at home inspired by the duo of Orji and Kalu.
Sporting Lagos are looking quite good in the NNL following a brilliant home win at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena on Sunday.
Sporting defeated their visitors Ijebu United 2-1 with their superstars, Gabriel Kalu and Chisom Orji the heroes for the hosts.
Both players showed why they are the club’s most recognisable stars after scoring two goals worthy of Puskas nominations.
Orji broke the deadlock with an excellent goal from 25 yards to put Sporting ahead before Kalu came off the bench to score the decisive winner late on with another stunning effort from 25 yards.
